Vettel for having the ruthless clinical nature a 3 times champion should have. Button for what was a very good drive, Bianchi for being a little star.

2 - Best Team
Red Bull

3 - Best Overtake
Vettel on Webber

4 - Best Moment
Lead battle

5 - Worst Driver
Alonso for his error. Maldonado was pretty bad again.

6 - Worst Team
Force India unfortunately

7 - Best Rookie
Bottas/Bianchi

8 - Biggest Surprise
Lack of pace from Lotus.

Everything I planned to say you already said here! Totally the same opinion!
+1

Quite refreshing to come onto a forum where Vettel isn't being lambasted for doing what I would expect any truly great racer would do! :shhh:

Sebastian Vettel. Perfect weekend for him: pole position and 2.5 seconds faster than Webber and a great race with a fantastic battle with Webber at the end. I didn't like his team radio though. That's just disrespectful towards Webber.

2 - Best Team
Red Bull

3 - Best Overtake
Vettel on Webber. Great battle!

4 - Best Moment
Vettel vs. Webber

5 - Worst Driver
Fernando Alonso. It's strange to see a mistake like this from him.

6 - Worst Team
Force India

7 - Best Rookie
Bianchi

8 - Biggest Surprise
so many pit stop errors

9 - General Comment(s)
What a nice race! Way better than Melbourne imo. 9/10
FC BAYERN 7 - BARCELONA 0

1 - Best Driver

Vettel for his drive, the rest is another story and Bianchi

2 - Best Team

Red Bull's and Mercedes' performances were overshadowed by their stupid, to say the least, team orders (it was only the second race of the season, come on people!!!!!!!!!) therefore they don't deserve to be in this category. I choose Marussia.

3 - Best Overtake

Raikkonen on Hulkenberg

4 - Best Moment

Hamilton's visit on the pits of his old team.

5 - Worst Driver

Maldonado

6 - Worst Team

Force India, my God was it that difficult to put the wheels on the cars???

7 - Best Rookie

Bianchi.

8 - Biggest Surprise

Lotus' pace. Last year they were great in warm conditions, this year they just faded away

9 - General Comment(s)

This isn't F1, an endurance race like 24 hours of LeMans perhaps.
Team orders from the second race of the season????/
I don't like where F1 is heading the last years. Why am I watching it?
At first it's like a bad habit, I've been doing this over 30 years and secondly, like those who buy a lottery ticket knowing that their chances are slim but they still do it, because I'm waiting for that special race when everything I love F1 will surface again.

1 - Best Driver- Mark Webber
2 - Best Team- RedBull for maintaining the top 2 spots even tho they were controversial
3 - Best Overtake- Kimi on Hulk
4 - Best Moment- Lewis coming in McLaren's Box
5 - Worst Driver- Maldanado
6 - Worst Team- Ferrari/Mercedes/Force India
7 - Best Rookie- Bianchi/Bottas

1 - Best Driver - Bianchi and Bottas. Solid drives which embarrassed their team mates.

2 - Best Team - Red Bull probably deserve this but I'm going to vote for Mercesdes. A genuinely great performance by the entire team

3 - Best Overtake - Vettel on Raikkonen

4 - Best Moment - Lead battle and seeing Alonso monumentally screw up

5 - Worst Driver - Alonso, just unacceptable

6 - Worst Team - Force India, all the gear but no idea

7 - Best Rookie - See point 1

8 - Biggest Surprise - "fans" of F1 getting outraged at team orders

I may have that the wrong way round, so Raikkonen on Vettel. Earlish in the race, around the outside of turn 5.

1 - Jules Bianchi
2 - Red Bull and Mercedes - this was a big day for both teams in the Constructors'
3 - Räikkönen on Hülkenberg
4 - Force India's Pitstop Woes
5 - Fernando Alonso - utterly pathetic
6 - Force India
7 - Jules Bianchi
8 - Multi 21...

9 - General Comment(s)

Could have been a good race with good fights between Webber, Vettel, Hamilton, and Rosberg had they been allowed to fight.
3/10.
Requiescat in pace, Jules Bianchi

1 - Best Driver - Webber
2 - Best Team - Red Bull
3 - Best Overtake - Vettel on Webber
4 - Best Moment - The start
5 - Worst Driver - Alonso
6 - Worst Team - Force India
7 - Best Rookie - Bottas
8 - Biggest Surprise - Timing of Webber's third pit stop

9 - General Comment(s) - Interesting start, but a bit boring at the end. Mercedes did not allow Hamilton and Nico to battle against each other, which was bad for the race, but probably good for Pirelli's unpredictable tyres.

1 - Seb Vettel, I know he did the wrong move, but still he had the b*** to overtake Webber
2 - Mercedes for their handling of the siuation, firm but fair
3 - Vettel on Webber, so close!
4 - The 4 leading cars all dealing with inter-team rivalry and team orders
5 - Alonso, should have pitted at the end of the 1st lap
6 - N/A
7 - Bottas, one to definitely keep an eye on
8 - Mercedes' competitiveness, I know they've shown strong performances in testing, but to see it actually translated onto the race track is a welcome surprise

9 - Quite interesting, reveals alot about the forthcoming 17 races, it's going to be an interesting season!
